Update for Updates!

We’ve fallen a little bit behind in keeping up with updates for games that we here at The App Shack have reviewed, and we’re very, very sorry about that. But we promise that no more will we slack off when it comes to keeping our readers updated about the games we’ve reviewed and come to love.

So here we go;

This match 3+ bubble popper that we reviewed back in August, has just gotten a pretty nice update, addressing a couple of the issues we brought up while reviewing. For starters, the game now has music. Nice, relaxing downtempo beats and soothing synth-lines will accompany you in your quest to clear out all the Snorbies level after level. No more hearing only the beeps of Snorbies hitting eachother. To make it even more interesting, Nepik has included in-game high-score leaderboards for each Mode, along with boards for most Snorbies woken up, Snorbies lumped together, and your single shot record. These are not split up by difficulty, so there’s a chance that someone playing the game on easy could hold the number 1 position over someone playing the game on extreme. We don’t know if that appeals to you, but we think it’s great that all players are getting lumped together regardless of what skill level they are to compete for high-scores. Nepik has also made a more appealing icon, showing the cute blue Snorbie in a not so cute way. Oooo, scary!

This awesome platformer than hit the AppStore last month has gotten a performance and bug squashing update in preparation for their next update, which will add a new control scheme, VIRTUAL BUTTONS! But for now, they made Timmy run a lot smoother, and made it iOS 5 compatible. With the bug fixes (most of which, we didn’t even catch in our review), multitasking has been fixed, and you can now accept calls when playing, and then jump right back into the action after you’re done chatting away, as well as some camera issues being fixed. Apparently the camera shoot a bit for some players, and this has been completely taken care of. Along with these fixes, CB Labs has made the game run smoother on all devices. The developers are now also active on the Touch Arcade thread, and working with players to try and make the game 2G compatible, as well as taking suggestions for future improvements. They’ve also shared their support e-mail with everyone, asking that if you have any issues, questions, or complaints, to e-mail them at support@theadventuresoftimmy.com , and it’s always nice to see a development company become active in forums, and through e-mail. So you can expect The Adventures Of Timmy to only get better as time goes on.

One of the best puzzle games in the AppStore, Edge Extended, has just recently gotten an update giving it 4 new levels. This isn’t really a HUGE update, but it’s still a very welcome one, and in the end, when Mobigame has slowly added 4 levels here, 2 levels there, 3 levels here, you can be sure that the game will almost feel like it’s original 1.0 version was just the frame of the Edge Extended household.

Bloo Kid, a single screen platformer released earlier this year, has just gotten an update brining OpenFeint support into the mix. You can now compete with other platformer freaks around the globe for the most number of stars collected. This addition brings a whole new level of replay value to the game, as online features usually do, and we couldn’t be more happy about it. Also in the update, various bug fixes, making Bloo Kid run smoother, and play better. Thank you Eiswuxe!

One of our favorite politically incorrect games, Supergay, has just gotten an update including 6 new levels. You can now go through and play 6 more minigames, leading Tom just a little further down the road of scientific and personal realization, bringing the game one more step closer to completion.
